| campylobacter avium sp. nov., a hippurate-positive species isolated from poultry. | three strains of an unusual hippurate-positive campylobacter species were isolated at 37 degrees c from caecal contents of broiler chickens and a turkey. all strains were initially identified as campylobacter by means of genus-specific pcr, but none was further identified using specific pcrs for known thermophilic species. phylogenetic analyses based on 16s rrna, rpob and groel gene sequences revealed that these strains formed a robust clade distinct from other campylobacter species. amplified f ... | 2009 | 19620353 |
